Dressing for Romance: How to Send the Right Message

Yes, it’s true: Valentine’s Day is a made up holiday, but it is one that we attach a lot of meaning to nevertheless. If you’re planning a special evening with your significant other, you may find yourself in a bit of trouble when deciding on your look–what you wear can convey different messages to your partner. Because your personal appearance can sometimes be as powerful as words, here are three outfit ideas for dressing for romance:

Keep it casual and chic at the beginning of a relationship
Your relationship may not be that defined in the early stages, so its important to have a casual aura the day of Valentines. This day puts a lot of pressure on men the world over, let alone someone who doesnt know you very well. By dressing casual-chic, youll be in the safety zone no matter what his plans are. This sheer blouse and leather pants combo create a look-at-me vibe without being too obvious.

Show him your softer side in a flirty and feminine gown
A long draped dress is the perfect way to show him you’re in the mood for deeply romantic overtures. Get his heart going by donning a backless gown–it’s a flirty way to draw attention to this feature which is just as titillating as any other androgynous zone.

Let your confidence shine in a sexy little red dress…
This outfit will grab his attentionno doubt. Put your best foot forward in a little number that highlights your best assets. It takes quite the secure man to feel comfortable on the arm of a lady who turns heads. The colour of this body-con dress not only shouts confidence, but is also the colour of love and passion (not so coincidentally).
